Went on a 3 mile run this morning after dropping #2 off at school. I like to run through the rich neighborhoods here in down town Atlanta. I imagine I am a southern bell named Buffy (not the vampire) and I have boys that I dress like girls until they're strong enough to resist. Then I have a nanny that I just ADORE and I exercise and shop all day. And do occasional volunteer work at my eldest child's private preschool that costs my nanny's salary for a 3 day/week spot. And my arms probably look like this:

Speaking of arms, aren't Kelly Ripa's arms amazing??? They are my new celebrity wanna be body part. I love strong arms. To me they symbolize motherhood. I never had sculpted arms before I became a mother. And then after I had #1 I noticed tone. Even before I got into fitness. For me there is definitely a fine line between sculpted arms and "Holy Mother Lover- are you a man or woman" arms. I mean, if that's what you're after- well done! But I prefer maybe one notch below GI Jane. And hair. On my head, not my arms.

As it stands- I can't even do 1 pull up. Not one. And I've tried. So my new fitness goal is to bump up the arms a little. And be able to do a pull up by May. Mother's Day! Mutha sculpted arms.

Umm...can I just say Kelly Ripa, as a whole?!? I have a total girl crush on her. Maybe it's because I think she and her husband, Mark, are just the cutest couple EVER. I just love her. And yes, her arms are quite awe inspiring! I am quite fond of Cameron Diaz's legs. They aren't too skinny, but they are toned and girly looking. You know what I mean?!?! Good post girl. I know exactly what you are talking about running through the swanky hoods in the ATL. I used to be that Nanny who's boss spent half their salary shopping or at Pottery Barn just for $^#&@ and giggles. :)

I want to tell you how THRILLED I am that you are blogging again. I have missed your blogs, that's for sure.

I love Jen Aniston's arms...abs...butt..okay just her in general. Also, Courtney Cox Arguette has a rockin body too. I too am a fan of Kelly Ripa's arms. She rocks and until recently (last few years maybe) she didn't work out. At least that's what she claimed on her show...
